Participants:

The Intensive English as a Second Language Program is a coordinated course of study for international students whose TOEFL (or equivalent) test results range between 450 and 499. It is anticipated that within one to two semesters, a student will achieve a minimum score of 500 or better on the TOEFL and thus be eligible to enter a degree-seeking program. Upon achieving a score of at least 500 but below 550 on the TOEFL examination, though eligible to begin an undergraduate degree program, a student is expected to enroll in either English as a Second Language I (ENSL1470) or English as a Second Language II (ENSL1480), as determined by in-house testing, for further English study. Both of these courses may be repeated once for credit with permission of the instructor. Upon achieving a score of 550 or more on the TOEFL test, a student is excused from the requirement of taking English as a Second Language. 

Courses in English as a Second Language: Listening and Speaking; Grammar; Reading and Vocabulary; Writing English as a Second Language. Each course has 3 credits.
